Starlite - A few years ago, a hair stylist in England was deeply moved
when he learned of a fire aboard a plane that killed several children.
His great compassion for others, in addition to the sincere love and
kindness he felt for these children and their families, inspired him to
develop a new flame-resistant material.

Using just the materials available in his own small workshop, this
British hair stylist developed a material with such heat-resistant
qualities, it is the only substance known that can withstand the heat of
a 10,000 degree centigrade nuclear blast. His daughter helped name the
new material Starlite.

During tests involving two thermonuclear blasts the Starlite plastic
remained unharmed, and the temperature behind the 1mm sheet of Starlite
plastic was raised by only 25 degrees.

Starlite is a hoax. Graphite-coated hollow metal balls were
recovered from nuclear tests. So? Hollow glass microballoons in
plaster will give you superlative thermal insulation within a few
millimeters' thickness, ditto the same filler in epoxy or pretty
much anything else that won't melt. Carbonaceous char is
protected from oxidation by melted balloons on teh surface.

If he could just reproduce the 10,000°C nuclear blast in his own small
workshop, we'd have cold fusion as well ...
